1. Starting Position: - Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed between both legs. - Maintain a slight bend in the knees for stability.
2. Arm Position: - Bring your arms in front of your body and bend your elbows to around 90 degrees. - Keep your palms facing each other and your elbows close to your torso.
3. Movement: - Inhale deeply, then exhale as you pulse your arms forward and back while keeping the elbows bent. - Aim for small, controlled movements. Make sure your elbows remain close to your body throughout the exercise.
4. Repetition: - Continue pulsing for 15-30 seconds, focusing on keeping your arms engaged without using excessive shoulder movement.
5. Return to Start: - After completing the pulses, relax your arms and return to the starting position.
Tips:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance. - Focus on your breathing; exhale during the movement to maintain control. - If you feel any discomfort in your shoulders or elbows, reduce the range of motion.
